The Modern Milk Problem

By J. SCOTT MacNUTT

Lecturer on Public Health Service in the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology

With 16 plates and 22 illustrations. Cloth, 12mo, $2.00

Notwithstanding the fact that the milk problem is constantly growing more acute in many parts of the United States, no book has thus far appeared treating, in a brief space, its main aspects and stressing the practical and economic as well as the sanitary factors involved. The present volume is designed to fill this obvious need by providing a convenient survey of a perplexing subject—not merely for health officials and milk inspectors, but also for dairy-men and city milk dealers, agricultural authorities, legislators charged with the framing of milk laws, inquiring consumers and members of organizations engaged in efforts to secure better milk supplies, physicians, and all others who are interested in the understanding and solution of the milk problem. The entire work is essentially practical and valuable as a constant reference.
